V raised as to what Mrs. Taylor meant by this: whether she intended that the resi- due of her estate after specific be- quests amounting to $52,000 should go to the church or whether she left it blank intending to await future developments is not known. Mrs. Taylor gave the church $5,000 for a pipe organ. The estate i mated to be worth $100,000, of which about $60,000 is represented in Burleigh count: The will, which was typewritten, was disallowed because there was no affirmative declaration to witnesses by Mrs. Taylor that it was her last will and testament, according to F. A. Register, attorney for the execu- tor, this, he said, being a mandatory requirement under North Dakota law. A declaration in the will was not sufficient, he said. The will was not contested, no ap- pearances being made in objection, but one sister living in the west did ask that affirmative proof be requir- The purported will, made Septem- ber 6, 1922, began as follows: “In the name of God, Amen. “I, Carrie D, Taylor of Bismarck in the county of Burleigh and state of North DakiQa, being of sound and disposing,mind and memory, and con- sidering the uncertainty of this frail and transitory life, do therefore make, ordain and publicly and declare this to be my last will and testament. “First, I order and direct that my executor, hereinafter named, pay all my debts and funeral expenses as soon ufter my decease as convenient- ly may be. “Second, after the payment of such funeral expenses and debts, I give, al devise and bequeath to the McCabe Methodist church of Bismarck, North Dakota, a There was a blank space after the fentence referring to the Methodist church, where Mrs, Taylor may or may not, according to attorneys and others, intended to name a sum to be given the church, Then followed specific bequests to many relatives, the highest being $3,000, and totalling $32,000, naming of J.

If a similar action is taken in the House of Representatives in Wash- ington, it is expected that James H.

STOCK MARKET PRICES DURING WEEK ARE HIGH Industrial Stocks Replace Rails in the Public Favor During Week New York, Nov. 29.—(By the A. P.) —Maintaining its dominating posi- tion the stock market this week con- tinued its onward sweep, ignoring such traditional deterrents to trading as a holiday interruption and a-sharp rise in call rates. The upward move- ment of prices was not so sustained as in the first two weeks following the election, however, Trading lag- ged somewhat early in the week, but was galvanized into renewed activi- ty- when a rally in steel shares led the whole list forward. Industrial stocks replaced the rails in public favor, as tangible evidence of improvement in various fields of industry came to light, Predictions by E. H. Gary, head of the United States Steel Corporation, that the steel industry soon would be operat- ing at capacity appeared to be well founded in the reports of heavy buy- ing from all sources—railroads, building contractors, equipment, im- plements and automobile manufactur- ets, Prices of both pig iron and fin- ished steel advanced and mill oper- ations increased, 'ARMERS TO ENTERTAIN TOWNSPEOPLE LaMoure, N. D., Nov, 29.—Farmers and their wives in this community, who last year gained wide publicity by entertaining LaMoure townspeo- ple at a turkey dinner held in the community building here, are going to repeat Dec. 4. The event is in response and com- pliment to the series of golden rule market days which LaMoure has staged for more than the last year period and which have been featured by entertainment for visiting coun- try people. The 15th of these sp days will be held here Dee, 1. Two the mill and elevator is regarded as clumsy, and the difficulties which have been encountered in its finan- cing and are faced in continued fi- nancing of the enterprise, go back to an amendment to the state consti- tution. Under the method of es- tublishing the state industries, bonds cannot ‘be issued except on mort- gages on actual property. The state must acquire the property before it can issue the. bonds and get the money needed for financing the in- stitutions, Article 31 of the state consti- tution provides: _ “The state may issue or guar- antee the payment of bonds, provided that all bonds in excess of two million dollars shall be secured by first mortgages upon real estate in amounts not-to ex- d one-half its value; or upon real and personal property of state-owned enterprises or in- dustri in amounts not exceed- ing its value, and provided fur- ther, that the state shall not issue or guarantee bonds upon the property of state-owned utilities, enterprises or indus- tries in excess of ten million dollars.” In financing state enterpris million dollars of capital stock of the Bank of North Dakota was au- ;thovized, without the bonds being [secured by property... A three mil- lion dollar bond issue was authorized to build the state mill and elevator at Grand forks, and the property given us security against the debt. { When jit came to financing the [state mill and elevator, it was found that no capital stock was provided. It was ne ary to start the mill, with no capital to run it. The Bank of North Dakota advanced money on transfer, or unsecured loan, until the last legislature met and author- ized the issuance of milling bonds, which would be secured by grain, other inventory, bills of lading, cash, ete. It was necessary to buy the grain before the bonds could be issued. One million dollars of bonds have been issued as milling bonds. Had the mill made a profit by this time, financing would be simple, since it would have needed capital. However, ce the mill has incurred a large deficit, the problem becomes mote: difficult. The mill has pledg- ed ull of its property under mort- gage, and if it desires to borrow $500,000 with which to purchase grain it must borrow the money without giving security. The money had been borrowed from the Bank of North Dakota. There are some officials’ who believe that the Bank, which has tax money which often is withdrawn at the time when the mill needs most money, cannot be de- pended on to finance the mill as long as it continues to lose. The legislature, it is certain, will be called upon to consider the ques- tion of whether or not it will author- ize issuance of any more milling bonds, since the $2,000,000 author- ized in 1923 would, in view of past experience, be exhausted before the next legislature meets. It is not improbable that the legislature may also be faced with the question of levying an annual tax designed to raise $1,000,000 or $2,000,000 to be given to the mill management as capital stock, to help it in its oper- ations.

Two British officers were and eight men were wounded. The official announcement stated that the situation in Khartum was well in hand. The description from Khartum of yesterday’s mutinous outbreak, re- ceived here today, is different in no material respect from those made public from official sources in London yesterday, according to of- ficial information. The main body of mutincers, the account states, took refuge in a building in the hospital compound which shelled and demolished by artillery fire. One officer and J4 men of the mutineers are believed to have been killed. The remainder of the mutineers surrendered except for a small number being rounded up by the police...

FRENCH WILL DEBT T0 U $,': Parley Is Planned at a Meet- ing to Begin on December 1, It, Is Announced Washington, 29.—The French debt to the United States will be dis- cussed by the American debt com- mission at a meeting here Dec. 1. Members of the commission will be informed at that time of results of a series of conferences between Sec- retary Mellon and Ambassador Juss- erand looking to a possible basis for refunding the French government's obligation, which is the second larg- est amount loaned by the. United States to its associates during the World war. ‘See Results in Talks Meetings between Mr. Mellon and the ambassador have been recently entirely informal and their discus- sions are understood to have been directed to a clarification of the un- derstanding between the two govern- ments with respect to the French fiscal position. The talks, however, are expected to lead to tangible re- sults, although the meeting of the commission, which was called yes- terday by Secretary Mellon, probably will do no more than go over the situation as it is now known by the treasury head. In some quarters, it was indicated last night, there is a belief that a policy toward the French debt might grow out of the meeting of the com- mission and that a definite state- ment to that government of what the United States can and cannot do might be forthcoming. Official com- ment was refused on these reports, however, and Mr. Mellon withheld information as the business to be taken up at the session further than to say that the commission will dis- cuss the situation as it now stands. Jusserand Is Through M. Jusserand will leave for Paris, Jan, 6, to retire from the diplomatic service of his government. His talks with Mr. Mellon, therefore, take on the aspect of an effort by him to obtain an expression regarding the terms for refunding the debt which the American government can accept. ‘The American commission always must have in mind, however, that its settlements are subject to congres- sional approval, it was explained, and the views given the French rep- resentative therefore have been of a character designed for infotma- tion rather than. statements seBmiit: (Continued on page 8) ~ jered DISCUSS THEIR’ cee | WOODS FINANCING OF BRITISH BREAK SPECTACULAR GUN FIGHT IS STAGED IN STREETS OF MINNEAPOLIS WHEN BANDITS INVADE CHECK COMPANY BRINGS HOPE | Moellga of Professor Holger of the Department State Veterinary School, hagen, has angounced he has pro- duced a compound that kills th tuberculosis germ.
